"Bro, I just lost like... okay let's check. Dude, I literally lost so much money. I got it twisted, chat. I got it twisted. This is the reality of gambling. You will lose, and that's just facts! Dude, I'm like the only streamer that actually loses gambling, because I don't have a gambling deal, so I just lose. I actually just lose. Oh my god! What is wrong with me, chat?"

Fans were interested in knowing how much money the Twitch streamer lost. The streamer replied:

"'How much money did you lose?', like, $40k, in the last week. Yeah, sucks. I lost it playing; dude, I was playing that slot that Train (Trainwreckstv) plays."

Mitch Jones asserted that "it was all good" because he gave his manager the last $5,000 and requested him not to give back the remaining money:

"It's all good chat. I still got like, $5k; here's what I did. I gave my manager my last $5,000, and I told him to not give it to me, no matter what like, just don't give it to me. So, I still got like, $5,000 to live off of. So, we're good."

The discussion continued with Mitch Jones claiming that he did not feel bad about losing money. He provided the following rationale for his sentiments:

"But the thing is, I don't even care. Isn't that weird? Like, I don't even feel bad about it. I'm just like, 'Whatever'. I don't care because the thing is like, I'm just lucky to have like, the career I do, right? Because even when I was streaming, I still have like sponsors that are coming in. Like, I think I'm owed like $20k in September from a sponsor that I did, or something."

The conversation came to a close when he added:

"I have money coming in because I'm lucky to have career that I have. But it's like, I never save anything because of how much of a degenrate I am."
